Abdulrahman Bashir, Chief Executive Officer of Rahamaniyya Oil and Gas Limited, has been sentenced to 10 months imprisonment in the United Kingdom for breaching multiple orders of the court in a pending suit instituted by Sahara Energy Resources Ltd.

Those orders required Rahamaniyya Oil and Gas Ltd, of which Mr Bashir is the CEO and controller, to comply with requests for the release of 6,400.69 metric tonnes gas oil to Sahara Energy Resource Ltd or its agent from Rahamaniyya Oil and Gas Ltd, Jetty 6.436181, Ibafon, Kirikiri Waterfront, of Aero Maritime Street, Apapa, Lagos, Nigeria (“the Terminal”).

According to documents obtained by 'Premium Times' the court also gave a binding indication that the sentence could be reduced to six months if Mr Bashir complies with the relevant order which had previously been breached.
